In developing countries, motorcycle riders normally attempt to stop at their desired locations during queue formation on signalized intersection approaches. Under mixed-traffic conditions, positioning in a affects the operational and safety performance of intersection. This study aimed identify factors influencing riders’ stopping urban intersections. applied Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) obs...

To deal with the conflicts between left-turn and through traffic streams and increase the discharge capacity, this paper addresses the pre-signal which is implemented at a signalized intersection. Such an intersection with pre-signal is termed as a tandem intersection. For the tandem intersection, phase swap sorting strategy is deemed as the most effective phasing scheme in view of some exclusi...

Since the introduction of the 1985 High way Capacity Manual,’ there has been much discussion concerning its application. This is especially true in Southern California, where most government agencies and consultants have not yet agreed on a methodology for calculating signalized intersection capacity and level of service (LOS). Current methodologies include the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM...

The aim of this paper is to develop a cooperative control model for improving the operational efficiency of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicles. The model takes advantage of the emerging connected vehicle technology. A connected vehicle centre is established to assign a specific reservation time interval and transmit the corresponding dynamic speed guidance to each BRT vehicle. Furthermore, a set ...

A nalysis and design of traffic control features for handling leftturn operations in at-grade intersections is one of the most problematic components of signalized intersection analyses. The Texas Section of ITE has embarked on an effort to provide improved left-turn analysis procedures through a section technical project. This article presents a summary of efforts and conclusions developed thr...
